How much recovery time is needed I suppose really depends on the dog and the work. Mentally strenuous work seems to require more time to recover. We run each of the older dogs on a set-up (marks and/or blind, about 15/20 minutes or so), then put one up and let it rest while the others run, which usually means a rest of 30 minutes to an hour depending on how many dogs we're running and the type of set-up. But we only get to run any one dog twice or maybe 3 times on any given day (if we are lucky). I think 30 minutes to an hour is probably enough rest after most 10-20 minute set-ups, unless there was a long swim, or protracted battle of some sort.
The obvious solution is that you just need another dog or 2.
:wink:
